Structural change in the Northern Ireland economy
Luke, Arthur E.
The notion that Northern Ireland's economic problems reflect, to a substantial degree, an adverse mix of industry ? with too great an emphasis on declining or slow growing sectors ? is now a commonplace, if partial, explanation of persistently high unemployment and low income levels. It is possible to recognise such features in the Northern Ireland economy since at least the 1920s although it was not until 'the Isles and Cuthbert Report' that a detailed articulation was presented of the relevance of industrial structure in explaining economic circumstances. The view that structural problems were one of the root causes of Northern Ireland's economic ills was firmly endorsed by the Wilson Report of 1965.
There are, perhaps, three main issues that are posed in attempting, by analysis, to gauge the significance of the structural dimension:
(i) What is the "quality" of the industrial structure?
(ii) Has structure changed in a favourable or adverse fashion?
(iii) What are the mechanisms of structural change?
This paper attempts to address these issues using the shift-share technique supplemented with additional analyses.

An analysis of land potential for grazing in Ireland with particular reference to farm size relationships
Lee, J.
While much research has been carried out on the role of soil survey in
the application of agricultural technology to farming, its possible utility
as a basis for systematizing statistics on farm size has not been investigated.
Against the above background, the objectives of the present study are to
(1) examine the extent of major land units in Ireland with particular
reference to regional variation
(2) evaluate the productivity of the lowland soils for livestock production,
(3) examine the relationship (if any) between holding size and soil
association,
(4) investigate the number of holdings on each soil association that
have a capacity to support selected stocking targets,
(5) investigate the reduction in holdings which would be necessary
on each soil association to create units capable of suppoitmg
the selected stocking target, assuming that holdings below the
stocking target were restructured to bring them up to the selected
target while those above it were assumed to remain unchanged.
